Soreness. I love it. There are some who will tell you that being sore means you over trained. The will tell you that getting sore from a workout means you did too much and that your workout was counterproductive. I suppose these same people would try to tell you that if you merely sweat during a workout you are working too much. Hog wash!
I am far from being enough of an expert to argue with these people, but I can tell you that I enjoy being sore. Being sore let’s me know I have been in a fight. In much the same way that sweating lets me know I have been working hard. I like soreness.
I am sore as hell today. I hurt all over. Something about harnessing myself to my Volvo and lifting it got to my hamstrings and they are on fire today. So are my calves. In fact, calves are feeling awesome. And it only took three sets to do them in.
Chest? Screaming. Serratus and ribs? I feel like a quarterback who was just blindsided 20 times by Lawrence Taylor. Back and shoulders? Are you kidding me? Biceps? Yup. Go figure. Take a look at the workout on 11/20. A whopping 4 exercises, done to failure for 2-4 sets (accept for pushups, of course). Who needs weights! Heheh.
Gimme cables, cars and heavy objects to move around. No wonder IronWorkers are so tough! And they rarely touch a barbell.
